CERN Live
Uniquely commissioned for the Gravity
Fields Festival this exciting exhibition
is all about the world’s biggest
experiment, the Large Hadron Collider.
Discover how scientists use it to hunt
Higgs bosons, dark matter and answer
questions about how our universe
began. The exhibition includes
speakers from the Large Hadron
Collider, live links with CERN and an
exhibition with interactive elements.
Live presentations to include
exhibition curator Dr Harry Cliff (Friday
12.00pm), exhibition advisor Professor
Val Gibson (Saturday 10.15am) and
Professor Tara Shears (Saturday

on the CERN Large Hadron Collider
experiment. There will be a live Virtual
Tour of CERN and video presentations
of CERN and its activities. A detailed
schedule will be produced in early
September and published on our

Reflections:
In Newton’s time advances in optics meant
the discovery of new types of telescopes
and the introduction of the microscope.
Step out of the town centre and into
a different world. Experience an
all-enveloping combination of light
and sound with you at the centre of
a miniature, wrap-around universe of
moving lights and sounds.
Reflections:
A light and sound installation which
immerses you in a place somewhere
between a set for Star Wars and a journey
into space.
